HyperSpin for Driving Cabinets
Fursphere:
So I'm a Hyperspin user. I have it on my MAME cabinet, fully loaded with all the extra goodies. I'm in the process of getting it going on my driving cabinet, but its a fair amount of work - especially since I'm going to have to create a lot of themes from scratch it seems.
I've got themes for:
Burnout Paradise
Dirt 2
Dirt 3
F1 Race Stars
Grid
NFS: Most Wanted (2012 version)
Outrun 2006
Anyone else here run Hyperspin for a front end? (I'm calling mine HyperDrive for fun)
I've been ripping the individual game trailers from youtube and whatnot (HD if possible) to do the wheel "preview" video.
BadMouth:
Have you seen mbasile's concept?
(He never did finish the cab)
I'd like to do something similar, but don't want to take the time to learn how.
I really don't like having a different theme for each game, but that's me.
I've only messed around with hyperspin enough to set up MAME with the default themes, but didn't like the Ultracade look.
Someday I'd like to revisit it and build a custom theme, but I have waaaay too many other things going on to even think about it.
Fursphere:
That looks like HyperPIN (The virtual pinball cabinet version) retooled for a Driving Cab setup. Not bad.
The biggest thing I don't like about HyperSpin is that its meant to be "wheel menus" - like, pick a system, then pick a game. When you want it to be one "flat" wheel, it can become a lot of work.

I'm using hyperspin for my driving cab. Never used it before (always used Mala) and I've found it to be excellent. Can be daunting at first but I don't think it's as hard to learn as some people make out especially with the guides now available and the hyperspin forum.
I have themes & preview vids for all the model 2, supermodel and MAME driving games. PC game themes are harder to come by. If you want any I can list the ones I have.
Re the default separate wheel for each system and changing this to a single wheel for all games, it's actually now very easy to do if you have the recently released hyperlaunch 3.

Good to know. I've been using a workaround in Mala to keep all my arcade games in one list on all my cabs and would never go back to having it any other way. The good thing about the way it is done in Mala is that Da Old Man's plugins for automation (screen rotation, joystick switching) get their info from the gamelist, which got them from the mame xml. So my screen rotates and my joysticks adjust regardless of emulator.
I'd still want the PC games kept separate.
I wish Swindus and Loadman would turn over the Mala to someone who feels like continuing to work on it.
It hasn't even been updated to support 7zip files and the newest version of MAME changed the labeling for joysticks in the xml which prevents Mala from reporting the correct orientation to Da Old Man's plugins. I fear the lack of 7zip support may be the end of it.
I really don't like the previews from EmuMovies for the racing games. A lot of them look like they were played on a keyboard. The steering on the cars twitch instead of moving smoothly. Once upon a time, I had visions of making a complete set of preview videos for racing games, but I always have more ideas than time. :lol :'(
